Loss of suction

\015 Suction through the wand is very good but in the upright position the suction is very poor. I have checked for blockages and there are none. It seems to me that when the machine is moved into the upright postion there is not a good seal to the base. when I hold my hand under the machine you can barely feel any suction on the side where the hose connects and none on the other side. Has anyone else had a similar problem.\015

Su2914: loss of suction even when cylinder is empty!!
doesnt work correctly when pet attachment is added either, only seemed to work ok for first 4 months then loss of suction, will pick up eventually but quite poorly!
Should I take it for a service?
Thanks

My Dyson DC14 Animal doesn't have the suction it used to. The piece in the back on the bottom - a flap it appears - stays open now, causing the machine to make a louder noise than usual. At first, if I put my hand on the flap opening it would close, allowing for normal suction. Now, it stays "open" permanently", causing the loss of suction.

Hi loss of suction on Dyson DC07 and I have changed the belt on the brushbar and cleaned all filters/removeable parts but still suction not very good, any other suggestions?

Check for a clog where the power nozzle connects to the hose. Clogs or leaks in the hose will both cause loss of suction/air flow. Another possibility is broken or worn out fan blades. ...

Suction perfect when in upright position, but when tilted to actually clean there is total loss of suction - cannot see blockage anywhere. Thanks for your help.

If you are confident there are no blockages, look underneath, where the brush is, and you will see a short length of reinforced clear plastic hose. This often develops a split which results in loss of suction. You can pull the hose off at the motor e ...
